Miserable Story of Mine

This desperate occasion happened when I was 14 years old. It was already afternoon, so I went home  after school. Then I took a ride with angkutan umum to return home. But I forgot to bring extra money so, I only could pay one angkutan umum ride to Cimahi. But I can't continue my travel with ojek for going to my residence in Tanimulya.

I felt panic in a split second, because I can't go home without any money left. So I decided to walk from Gadobangkong (the area I was dropped by the angkutan umum) to Tanimulya. It was pretty close actually, but the road has no pavement to walk and the road is full of vehicles. It was very struggling to walk on. I had to be extra careful if I didn't wanted to get hit by something (read: vehicle). The road is very polluted that day, because of the traffic jam. But I could easily got over the road (safely) since the vehicles didn't move, so I could walk between the road.

Fortunately, I got so exhausted on the way. Yes, I have got across the Haji Gofur road, but I didn't reached the uphill part of the road to my residence. So I decided to take a break for a moment.

Suddenly, a vehicle came to my direction. I was so suprised because I was daydreaming a bit. After I realized, it turns out that the vehicle was an angkutan umum. But then I was confused because it was strange that an angkutan umum past trough to this area since this area is not a main roadway.  Then, the driver asked me where I wanted to go. I said I want to go home.

Then the angkutan umum driver said "Oh, I want to go home too! My home is at the same road as you're, you could go home with me if you wanted to,". I didn't expect that offer. But I doubted him because he could trick me and I could be kidnapped. Unfortunately, I was so exhausted back then, that I felt like I couldn't walk any further. Then after taking consideration for a split second, I decided to join his trip to go home.

It turns out that he didn't lie, the trip pass trough my residence. I was so grateful that I'm okay and did not kidnapped by the driver. Since the driver of angkutan umum usually asked us to pay off the ride, I said to the driver that I've got no money left. But the driver said "It's okay, you didn't have to pay,". After I said thank you to the driver, he drove away. I was so thankful for the kind driver I met. If I didn't meet him, I would already fainted from the exhausting trip.

She said that it is important to manage time, because she had to separate her time for work, and having college at the same time. She chose Chemistry major in Freie University, and fina...

Aurora Natural Phenomenon

Do you know what is aurora? Aurora sometimes referred to as polar lights, northern lights (aurora borealis), southern lights (aurora australis), is a natural light display in the Earth's sky, predominantly seen in the high-latitude regions (around the Arctic and Antarctic). Auroras are the result of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by solar wind. These disturbances are regularly strong enough to alter the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma. These particles, mainly electrons and protons, precipitate into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere). The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emits light of varying color and complexity. The form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating particles. Precipitating protons generally produce optical emissions as incident hydrogen atoms after gaining electrons f...

My Holiday

My holiday started on 18th December 2017 until 2nd January 2018. I spent my holiday in my house; and I was struggling to drove away the boredom I felt that time. So I guess, even though I have nothing to do on last year's holiday, I intended to keeping on being busy with doing some of my hobbies that time, and not procrastinate on holidays. But in the end, I kept procrastinating, and I didn't do anything productive on holidays. So what did actually I do on holidays? Well, that's a lot, actually, but I felt like the activities that I've done on holidays weren't productive. I was playing games, and buying go-food oftenly throughout the holidays. To be honest, I felt super-duper lonely at the early holiday because there's no one that time that could hangout with me. What else? Oh yeah, I didn't actually spent the holidays only at my house, I went to Jakarta for two days (I forgot when) to meet my grandparents. Me and my mom traveled from Cimahi to Jakarta wit...
